“Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.”

About: I provide attentive, high-quality care tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m experienced with structured routines, leash handling, and reading dog behavior to ensure a safe and positive environment. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just extra affection, I deliver dependable, top-tier care every time. My schedule is currently flexible as I am in between work allowing me to be available morning-evenings. Whether you’re looking for a morning walk or running late from work I can be there. I try to keep things as normal as possible for your dog while you’re gone. I follow your routine, make sure they’re well-fed, walked, and getting plenty of attention. I’m also very respectful of your home and keep everything clean and in order.

About: I have been around dogs since I was 5, as my best friend had dogs growing up. I worked at a doggie daycare, so I am comfortable walking and taking care of dogs. I am free in the mornings and early afternoon. I am an actress who has rehearsal at nights. I also have my own pets to take care of, so I won’t be out all day. I will respect the clients home and ensure to keep it clean/not move things around on them. I know how I would like to be treated with my home, and I will do the same for them.

“great communication!! will definitely reach out again when i need help with my pets!”

“Rachael was very communicative & patient. She helped to alleviate any anxieties I had while traveling away from my senior cat. She sent lots of photos & kept me in the loop about my cat’s behavior, eating patterns, and overall mood. 10/10 service, glad i already have her booked for my next vacation!”

“Kati has been really awesome with our puppy and two cats and so accommodating with our busy schedules. With clear and open communication she gives us significant peace of mind that our animals are well cared for. Thanks for all your help Kati!”

About: I am a Special Education teacher who works at a Therapeutic School by day and an animal lover all day and night. I do not have kids but I have 3 cats and babysit my friends and families fur babies any chance I get. Pets have free range of my home, they can relax on the couch, chair and bed whenever they want. I have experience watching dogs from pups-elderly. I volunteer at a local animal rescue in Palatine and bring in therapy dogs to visit my classroom. I rescued and adopted a deaf kitty with one eye, and I've always had animals in my home. I am a non-smoker and vegan (vegans really do love animals). For any overnight/weekend stays, I will be home and available to play, go for lots of walks and hangout all weekend long with your fur baby. Regular walks, feedings, playtime and relaxation based on your dogs needs is my priority. I have three loving cats who will keep your dog company. I have a small backyard that is away from cars/traffic and a large front yard. I have a dog tie out and spiral stake for dogs that want to roam around my unfenced front and/or backyard. Playdates with neighboring dogs is always an option or solo, quiet time if they prefer. I can keep your pet on their walking/feeding/play/sleep schedule as you request.

About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.

“Jazalyn is the best! She is extremely accommodating and fantastic with pets she’s only met once! My dog was comfortable with her immediately and she provided plenty of pictures and reassurance while we were away!”

“This was the first time we entrusted our girl to April. We were very happy with the pictures and video and detailed note describing her visit. We will definitely call her again.”

About: hello! my name is charlize i’m 22 i’ve grown up with animals my whole life and now i currently work at an animal hospital helping taking care of the dogs and cats that come in to see the vet. i’m very experienced with animals and taking care of animals and i love all different kinds of animals. i’ve worked at the animal hospital now for two and a half years and its been the most amazing two and a half years of my life. i am also going to school to practice becoming a veterinarian so i am really excited to meet all new furry friends for more experience. i am good with administering medication, i am good with dealing with aggressive dogs, i am good with any diabetic cat or dog with dosing insulin. you name it and i can do it!! i work part time hours at the animal hospital during the summer months and full time during fall and winter but i am extremely flexible, as i work on my terms and conditions. i am willing to fit last minute accommodation if it works with my personal schedule but i can also take time out of my day if needed to walk a dog etc. i unfortunately cannot have pets in my building but i am more than willing and able to go to anyone else’s beloved home to pet sit, or walk, or feed animals. i come in with a soft expression and wait for the animals to get used to me and my scent and then i wait for their approval to come further in their home/space. i am very careful to not touch them when they don’t want to be touched and i am always patient with animals especially if they’re new to my route.

“Yaqi did a great job taking care of our cat Dunk while we are away. Dunk was well fed, & well loved. He was full of energy when we got back.”

“!! ☆☆☆☆☆ !! Jaime helped me out last minute (about 3 days or so before my flight) with drop in visits for my 2 parakeets and my sugar glider, all animals that I didn't have a chance to have her meet nor time for me to give her a spare copy house key before I left! I was nervous letting a stranger into my home without meeting her first but since I have cameras and it was last min, I had no other choice. Thankfully, I had absolutely ZERO reason to worry!!! Jaime took great care of my lil monsters and was incredibly respectful towards my home! I don't live in Illinois anymore but HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jaime! You won't be disappointed!”

About: Hi! My name is Faci and I am a long time dog owner and a huge animal lover. I have had my dog for 13 years now, but I have also cared for other animals as well. In those 13 years my dog and I have learned a lot from each other. I learned more about patience, care, and responsibility from owning a dog than I have with any other job! I am capable of not only keeping an eye on your pet, but connecting with them and giving them what they need. I know pets are like our own children, and deserve only the best care. I am excited to get to know your pets and love them as if they were my own!

About: Not only am I an animal lover, but I’m someone who genuinely cares about creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every dog in my care. I used to be a dog owner, so I know how important it is for pet parents to find someone they can fully trust. I pay close attention to detail and always follow specific instructions to ensure your pet receives the best possible care, from medication and grooming to exercise routines and daily schedules. I’m attentive, reliable, and tuned into each dog’s unique personality and needs, especially those who may need extra patience, reassurance, or consistency. You can feel confident and comfortable knowing your dog will be treated with respect, kindness, and thoughtful care while you’re away. I am flexible, adaptive and able to accommodate varying schedules / needs. I am able to adjust my availability to meet the demands of others easily. Taking care of pets varies depending on your needs. I am here to listen, understand and develop ways to ensure you AND your pet are taken care of. From maintaining a clean environment, to following feeding or medication instructions. The values I live by - respect, honesty, trust and integrity- are reflected in my approach to all areas in my life.

“Luna and Elina get along very well. Elina is timely, professional and caring.”
